Śródmieście

When the surviving part of the „Wigry” battalion emerged from the sewers after a grueling, hours-long march and arrived at Warecka Street, they were shocked by the relatively normal appearance of the city.

Some of the „Wigry” soldiers who reached the Post Office Building were organized by Captain „Zaręba” into a Detached Combat Unit. This unit initially joined the „Chrobry II” grouping. After a brief rest, the unit was incorporated into the defense of the Post Office and the insurgent positions along Towarowa Street, where it soon faced and repelled German attacks.

Meanwhile, Captain „Trzaska,” who had managed to reach the City Center despite his injuries, began reorganizing the remainder of the battalion. He was determined to maintain the harcerska (scout) character and distinctiveness of the unit. The „Wigry” medics also became involved in organizing hospitals at 56 Hoża Street and 15 Lwowska Street, where all the injured „Wigry” soldiers, as well as wounded soldiers from the „Zośka,” „Parasol,” and „Czata” battalions, were treated.

On September 7, Captain „Zaręba’s” unit was relocated to the area around Napoleon Square, where they defended the Main Post Office and the Technical House at 3/5 Czackiego Street. Later, they were relieved by other units and moved to Mazowiecka Street and the burned-out Prudential building. The „Wigry” battalion defended this section until September 18.

In the final days of the uprising, „Wigry” held defensive positions at the intersection of Królewska and Marszałkowska Streets.
